It is also sold as "LogiLink USB2.0 Video Grabber with Snap Shot" - Model VG0005B v.1.0 - GTIN(EAN) is 4052792002102.

Whether it works under Linux, is still part of analysis.see below for a patch

Take note: this is a new batch being sold by Lidl late 2012 called SilverCrest USB 2.0 Video Grabber SVG 2.0 A2 and looks exactly similar as the SilverCrest USB 2.0 Video Grabber VG 2000 and has the same packaging, but uses a different chipset (Conexant CX23103-11Z), identified as ID 1d19:6109 by Dexatek Technology Ltd.

Making it Work

Firmware

Drivers

Patch to get the cx231xx driver working

In the file, depending on the kernel version, drivers/media/video/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c or drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c go to struct usb_device_id cx231xx_id_table[] and add these two lines e.g. at the beginning of the definition:

Remote Control Support

Snapshot Control Support

The housing is equipped with an push bottom to initiate a video snapshot. Operating of this shows no effect in VLC application nor /var/log/messages.

Verifying full functionality

These devices must be created by the driver in order for this device to work successfully:

Cx231xx Audio Analog Stereo- used for audio input

cx231xx #0 vbi- used by v4l

cx231xx #0 video- used by v4l

The cx231xx driver, when properly patched and compiled, works obviously also with this hardware.

The absence of this devices means that the full functionality is not available.

Capturing video and audio works on linux (at least tested with Ubuntu 12.04. and with kernel 3.5.0.45 with applied above patch. Skype video and Audacity audio capture worked, when tested. Hence, it would safely work with later kernels, if the patch would be preconfigured. The cx231xx driver states in the source comments, that itself is copyright 2008, so some older kernels work probably as well, if the module is patched and compiled properly).
